Are there terrorists in the Links Estate?

This seems unlikely but the Met Police have published the following advice:-


COMMUNITIES CAN DEFEAT TERRORISM

Terrorists live amongst us when they are planning attacks. We want you to look out for the unusual - some activity or behaviour which strikes you as not quite right and out of place in your normal day to day lives.

You may feel it’s probably nothing, but unless you trust your instincts and tell us we won’t be able to judge whether the information you have is important or not.

Remember, no piece of information is considered too small or insignificant.
Our specially trained officers would rather take lots of calls which are made in good faith, but have innocent explanations rather than not getting any at all.
We know you may have concerns about speaking to the police - possibly because your friends or family may find out.
But all information passed to the police is treated in the strictest of confidence. It is thoroughly analysed and researched by experienced officers before, and if, any police action is taken.

Suspicious activity could include someone:

• Who has bought or stored large amounts of chemicals, fertilisers or gas cylinders for no obvious reason.
• Who has bought or hired a vehicle in suspicious circumstances.
• Who holds passports or other documents in different names for no obvious reason.
• Who travels for long periods of time, but is vague about where they’re going.

In an emergency always call 999
